Eric Stubbs begins new job as Ottawa’s police chief

By Anil Jhalli

It's day one for Ottawa's new police chief. 

Eric Stubbs was named the new chief of the Ottawa Police Service on Oct. 21, just three days before the municipal election. 

Deputy Chief Steve Bell has been serving as interim chief since mid-February, after the resignation of Peter Sloly during the 'Freedom Convoy' occupation in February. 

Ottawa's new police chief was an assistant commissioner with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) in British Columbia  

In July, the OPSB approved a motion to begin recruiting a new police after the board conducted public consultations. In August, the OPS invited interested candidates to apply for the position and held interviews in late September and early October.
